README

This Contao extension add a new field to assign image files for each page. Using these images, the Page Image front end module can:

output the image as page content (e.g. as a header banner)
generate CSS to apply the image as a background to <body> or an element.

Note: In version 4, the two separate front end modules have been merged and the change from image to CSS happens through custom front end templates!

Features

Multiple images per page
If more than one image is assigned to a page, the front end module can decide which n-th image should be shown. This means you can (for example) have a header and footer image per page. Make sure to correctly order them in the page configuration.
Inherit images from parent page
If the current page has no image assigned, images from the parent page can optionally be inherited to all child pages.
Support for responsive images
In both the mod_pageimage or mod_pageimage_background templates, Page Image fully supports Contao's responsive image settings (using <picture> or @media query respectively).
NEW: metadata support
Version 4 adds support for file metadata. Same as with content elements, metadata can be defined in the file manager and can be selectively overridden in the page configuration.
